The Opportunity

We're looking for a Security & Compliance Lead to own security and compliance across Pydantic, with a particular focus on Pydantic Logfire, our observability platform built for the AI engineering era. Logfire increasingly serves regulated customers, and passing their security reviews is now part of how we win and keep enterprise deals. This is our first dedicated hire in the domain: you'll own both the technical security posture and the compliance program, rather than inheriting an existing team or playbook.

At heart this is a platform / DevOps role with deep security and compliance responsibility. The best person for it is an engineer who has operated cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes in production and wants to own the security and compliance program around it — not a checkbox-compliance administrator. Your instinct should be to automate and guide: encode security into cloud provider policies, guardrails, and self-service infrastructure so autonomous teams move fast and safely, rather than routing every decision through you. You'll define the what — policy and best practice — and, more importantly, build the paved paths that make the secure way the easy way.

This role might appeal to you if you have experience in roles such as:

• DevOps, Platform, or SRE engineer who has taken ownership of security and compliance
• Security Engineer with a strong infrastructure/platform background
• Infrastructure engineer who has run SOC 2 or similar audits end to end
• Security consultant or auditor who wants to build and automate, not just assess

You are interested in getting in early at a company with genuine product-market fit. Pydantic Validation is downloaded 500M+ times a month, Pydantic AI is the fastest-growing agent framework, and Logfire is the observability platform the AI engineering ecosystem is converging on. The surface area is broad, and the leverage for someone who can make security a competitive advantage rather than a bottleneck is enormous.
